    A Commentary on the New Testament

    The IVP New Testament Commentary Series

    by I. Howard Marshall

    • Recipient of a Christianity Today 1992 Critics' Choice Award

    As a young church in a hostile environment, Peter's first readers found in his letter encouragement, not just for facing suffering, but for living responsibly in the world as faithful disciples of Jesus Christ. Christians today will also find in Peter's letter a wealth of practical counsel on how to conduct themselves ...

    Knowing God the Father Through the Old Testament

    Knowing God Through the Old Testament Set

    by Christopher J. H. Wright

    It's almost second nature for Christians to call God Father. Jesus taught his followers as much, although for them it was apparently a surprising practice. The worshiping community of the Old Testament used fatherly images for understanding God'scharacter and actions, but "Father" was not a common way for believers to address God.

    In Knowing God the Father Through the Old Testament, ...

  • From Head-Hunters to Church Planters: An Amazing Spiritual Awakening in Nagaland, By Paul Hattaway
    Paperback

    From Head-Hunters to Church Planters

    An Amazing Spiritual Awakening in Nagaland

    by Paul Hattaway

    There is a tendency today to associate revival and miracles with charismatic churches, but there were none of those in Nagaland when God first brought revival there. These powerful and life-changing visitations came to orderly, conservative Baptist congregations. As a result, Nagas found their true dignity not in themselves, their ethnic roots, their head-hunting, or the defense of their homeland, ...

    2 Corinthians

    N. T. Wright for Everyone Bible Study Guides

    by N. T. Wright and Patty Pell

    Paul's second letter to the Corinthians explores the meaning of the cross in terms of personal suffering--his own, and that of all the Messiah's people. If in Galatians he is angry, if in Philippians he is joyful, in this letter his deep sorrow and the raw wounds of his own recent suffering are very apparent. Yet he is determined to view all of his suffering and all of the troubles of the world ...

  • Galatians, By N. T. Wright and Dale Larsen and Sandy Larsen
    Paperback

    Galatians

    N. T. Wright for Everyone Bible Study Guides

    by N. T. Wright, Dale Larsen, and Sandy Larsen

    Paul's project, he often says, is building--not building with bricks and mortar but rather with people. He lays the foundation with the shockingly good news of one true God who raised Jesus from the dead, in order to build a new family with no divisions, all of whom can call God Father. In a world of widespread ethnic rivalry and trenchant divisiveness, Paul's strong corrective message in Galatians ...

    Kingdom Apprenticeship

    Dallas Willard's Formational Theology and Missional Vision

    by Keas Keasler

    A Groundbreaking Analysis of Dallas Willard's Theology of Spiritual Formation

    Dallas Willard’s formational theology begins with the claim that the aim of God in human history is the formation of a community of loving persons apprenticed to Jesus—and ends with the promise that such apprenticeship prepares us to share in God’s governance of the cosmos.

    Love All Our Neighbors

    How Churches That Hold a Traditional Sexual Ethic Can Care for LGBTQ People

    by Tony Scarcello
    Foreword by Preston M Sprinkle

    "When we interact with our LGBTQ+ neighbors we are not interacting with an ideology, a political movement, a social media post, a caricature from a movie, or a law being debated in Congress. We are interacting with people made in the image of God, who our Savior bled and died to redeem. We are interacting with someone God literally loved to the point of his own death."
